Correct Answer:
acceptable
Solution :
The correct answer is option 1.
Explanation:
The adjective ' acceptable ' modifies the noun 'grades'.
- ' Acceptance ' is the noun form of the word in brackets and a noun cannot modify another noun 'grades'.
- -Likewise, ' acceptability ' is a noun.
- - Accept is a verb that refers to an action, whereas the question requires an adjective.
- - As a result, to make the sentence grammatically proper, the word ' acceptable ' should be employed.
- - As a result, 'acceptable' is the correct answer.
- The correct sentence is: She had continued her classes and was somehow maintaining acceptable grades.
- The meaning of the term 'acceptable' can be agreed upon; appropriate.
- - For instance, the election systems must be acceptable to the public.
